It’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted anything, but I mainly work on my own projects in the winter months. This is a small two drawer box I found over the summer. I call the technique/design on top “Dirty Jester”. Stain is custom made alcohol based, finish is lacquer with wax buff. Hope you like it!

Thank you so much everyone! I enjoyed working on this one so much! I have a round antique oak side table coming up within the next few months or so with a similar Dirty Jester look to it…I think I may have to either wait for warmer weather to spray the finish, suck it up and do it by hand in the shop, or trek about 40 miles to a buddy’s shop to spray it….not sure yet, but it’s almost done…:)
